Going to the airport at 7:45am so I have about 6 hours of sleep,

Been to a supplier's HQ today in here, Jacksonville, a very very modern and grand facility they have. Hope it could be a longer trip... but the good is I am going back tomorrow and I can Z again....

Mr.kenchan I'll go for the 50mm f/1.8 or f/1.4 Click Here
hey mr.alcheng! hope your trip back is (was) smooth!

thanks on the lens input. folks have told me 35mm would be better than 50mm for car since i can take shots without backing up via sneaker zoom. i can also get the slight distortion i like to emphasize roundness on some shots, and use for scenic shots as well. not sure.. i will need to think this over more.

1. Speed limit 25 or less, go 5 mph under. These are usually residential rodes with kids.
2. Speed limit 30, go no more than 5 miles over.
3. Speed limit 40 or 50, go no more than 10 mph over.
4. Speed limit 55, go no more than 13 over.
5. Speed limit 65, skies the limit!

you do realize the other speeds also includes kids in the car...

good morning everyone!
What I meant about kids is that there are kids running around and playing. I've personally seen 2 people get hit by cars in my life time on the block where I grew up. One was a 7 year old girl that I had warned several time that day to stay out of the street. I think that I was about 12 at the time. The other was a 16 year old teenager. Her brother was chasing her in the street and on the sidewalk, and then she darted back out into the street and collided with an oncoming car. She flew through the air like a baton. The car wasn't actually speeding. It's just that a car with its mass exerts a lot of energy (E = 1/2 mv2). She survived it and is okay today, but what an ordeal that was for her and her family. Therefore, on residential roads, I always creep, often less than the speed limit, especially when parked cars block my view.

i know wat you meant, it was a joke. i have un-supervised screaming indian kids roaming around our community often. they run across the street like if it's their playground. where are their f-king parents??!!! HOA made several claims to their parens, but still, they are screwing around on the streets.

ive witnessed a lady get hit j-walking downtown about two decades ago. some guy in a mustang (of all cars) was going maybe 25mph through the busy intersection, he had the right of way... when she got hit, she flew up into the air maybe 4-5ft and ended up hitting the guy's windshield with her head. lady held her head as she rolled off the hood, but appeared to only suffer minor external injuries. the guy was also holding his head confused wtf just happened.

yah, it seems in their country it is okay to let kids do watever the f- they want. in contrast my kids will have their dad in their face if they were horsing around outside screaming and running around over people' yards, driving their bicycles up people's driveways, touching people's cars looking inside, etc.

Kenchan,

I only edit it to clarify mt point. You can tell by my posts that I am not shy and I don't remove stuff, only add to it..

But again, I am so far off the z trail that I am moderating myself,haha. I will stay on Z cars...And not the other boring crap...

Speaking of Z's. I am anxiously awaiting your Video's...Will they be at the Track, or some street video's, of course on a closed road course, hee,hee..

All this talk of go Pro's and microphones has me waiting..

I think I may have found my Asian twin ... That is me to a tee. I was raised to respect people's property, and I will be raising my little guy the same way.
